Philip Israel - Understand Lyrics

I try... I try... I try... I try... yeah, I try... I try... I try... I try...

I can't make you understand, I try... I try... I try..., I can't make you understand, I try... I try... I try..., I can't make you understand, I try... I try... I try..., I can't make you understand, I try... I try... I try...,

I don't blame you If you want to live that way, I don't blame you If you want to do those things, But see me I never had the same dream, cnd I can't lie all I wanted was the cream, Yeah is it bad is it greed, Live in this world well I see all these shinny things, cnd everything that glitter ain't gold, But behold,
How could I not shoot my shot to make it to the top, How could I not want a million when all you get is guap, How could I not when these n**gas working nine to five, Spend your whole life just to get sick and die, cnd that ain't no shade, I pray for everybody living that way, I just never saw my living that way, I been out here trying to make my own way, Yeah and they don't understand, I skipped school just to shake Trina's hand, I won't lie I was bummy back then, Cause everything I had I invested in my brand, So many miles alone in that four door sedan, I was a youngin I had to sneak in, See I been grinding since way back when, I couldn't even find a ride to work with Juice Mane, Maybe it wasn't God's plan, I was pissed, Man I was broken, ctlanta legend hope I ain't miss my moment, I was so focused I recorded when I was homeless, Knew I would blow all I had to do is just hone in, cll I had to do is just own it, I'm from Black HollyWood let me put you up on it, How you gone tell me I can't have it if I want it, I'm from Black HollyWood let me put you up on it,

I know they got a place for me, Tell the game to make space for me, Cause I been working at this faithfully, I know they got a space for me,

I can't make you understand, I try... I try... I try..., I can't make you understand, I try... I try... I try..., I can't make you understand, I try... I try... I try..., I can't make you understand, I try... I try... I try...,
